“…Vit D and TGF-b share similar effects on cell growth and differentiation (Daniel et al, 2007;Wu et al, 1998). Experimental studies stress that, according to the cell type, Vit D may increase the expression levels of TGF-b and that of its receptors (Chen et al, 2002;Daniel et al, 2007;Koli & Keski-Oja, 1995;Tu et al, 2013;Wu et al, 1997aWu et al, ,b, 1998Yanagisawa al., 1999) or its secretion (Bizzarri et al, 2003;Koli & Keski-Oja, 1995 in the protection of cell from oxidative stress; induction of the expression of numerous isoforms of semaphorins, including SEMA 3B, 3F, and 6D Inhibition of COX-2 expression levels Aparna et al (2008) Repressesion of the WNT antagonist DICKKOPF-4 (DKK4) which promotes invasion and angiogenesis in colorectal cancer cells Pendás-Franco et al (2008b) Immune system Modulation of the expression which encodes for proteins that are crucial for autophagy and for the antimicrobial activity in cells of the innate immune system Hewison (2011) Induction of the expression of cathelicidin (CAMP) and, to a lessen exent, of defensin b2 (DEFB2/HBD2) in different normal and tumor cell types such as colon cancer, acute myeloid leukemia, keratinocytes, human bone marrow cells-derived macrophages, and bone marrow cell Gombart et al (2005) Alteration of the interrelationship between immune cells and cancer cells leading to a significant decrease in the pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-a and IL-6…”
